Abstract

The fragmentation of production due to vertical disintegration has profusely impacted growth in world trade via vertical specialisation in production and trade. This article is purported to examine domestic and import contents in exports in the manufacturing sector of India, and a few select countries in Asia. We have used the World Input–Output Database (WIOD) to estimate the domestic and foreign value-added shares of export. The period of our study is from 2000 to 2014. Our results pertaining to the aggregate manufacturing industry of India reveal that while, on the one hand, the domestic value-added contents of export have fallen significantly, the foreign value-added contents of export, on the other hand, have increased significantly over time. We have also conducted disaggregated industry-level analyses, which show that there is a wide variation in the degree of vertical integration in trade. The cross-country analysis reveals that the foreign value-added shares in total manufacturing export increased for developed Asia in 2014 over 2000. In emerging and developing Asia, it either has increased or remained stagnant. This scenario indicates a larger backward linkage of the manufacturing sector in the global value chain (GVC) across countries. Here, we have primarily focussed on the six key manufacturing industries viz. Food, Textiles, Chemicals, Basic Metals, Fabricated Metals and Motor Vehicles for cross-country industry-level analysis. Industry-level heterogeneity is highly prevalent in Asia in terms of their participation in GVC.
